D: That makes no sense.
K: It embarrasses the President.
D: ? ? ? ?
K: What Semonov proposed was what you brought back from Moscow.
D: What he could say from instructions was ABM and only that.
K: That was in the letter.
D: No it went about before freezing.
K: No, it's what I asked you to put in.
D: That part that I said fine if we ? ? ? ? . . Otherwise it was all right with you.
Just the two points and we announced it two weeks ago.
K: Are you telling me that you are accepting the two agreements should be
signed simultaneously?
D: Before signing on ABM we will reach details before signing the agreement.
First we have to sign ABM and its details. That's Semonov.
K: Nex Just look at the mess this creates. By Semonov raising this. Suppose
Smith backs this position, we will have a problem here.
D: Semonov has instructions that are two months old deliberately. Any
decisions on freezing would be after ABM signed.
K: I think we understand the problem.
D: What he said was this should be done before the signing. On this point
Semonov couldn't say a point.
K: So it's the one sentence.
D: If you accept it but you made it again difficult. Those two points. The
govt. is meeting. I am now waiting. I have to receive an answer on this point.
Otherwise you said it was acceptable to you.
K: I have explained to you the impression it makes here. I understand but it
will be hard to explain. Such fine points it will be hard for our people to follow
it. I understand it and you can report it to Moscow.
